Summary
Dragons.
There are many kinds of dragons and they can be found almost everywhere. In the skies, the oceans, even digging through your trash.
While running for his life, Link stumbles across a baby dragon about his age. Taking her with him, he gains his best friend.
A mysterious portal sends Link and his dragon companion to the past just when things were calming down again. With no other choice, they have to team up with Dragon Whisperers from across the timeline to get to the bottom of things.
Aka: I got inspired by my favorite movie trilogy and gave everyone in the chain dragons. (The types are based off of that one chart from I think Reddit. If ykyk) Then I did too much character and world building to not turn it into a fic.

“Would you have chosen another path?” Zelda asked the knight, over a century ago.
She wasn’t talking about the knight. But if she was…
Link likes to think the knight would have. He knows, though, that the knight’s destiny was immutable—and so was Zelda’s.
It’s a shame Link has to pick up the pieces.
Link struggles with the legacy of the one who came before him.

Summary
Zelda had taken note when Link mentioned myofascial release among the pain management techniques Purah had suggested. She can admit to being privately delighted. And she can admit that a good amount of it was vindication.
And if another part of it was warm interest at an opportunity to pamper Link into eight full hours of untwitching sleep, then that was between her and Hylia.

Summary
He really did think that one day it would have gotten easier, to watch others live out his deepest desires- And Legend doesn't mean to simply run around in the rain and catch a cold near after. No, he meant to let go. To free himself from the constraints of his aching limbs and weak health. Yet, even if he tried, there was no way he was able to muster but a few steps without falling to his knees and crying out from the sharp sting.
OR
Legend just can’t seem to find the beauty in rain, and no matter how hard he tried to keep it a secret, Time finally figures out why.

Summary
Most days were fine. Most days were relaxing and there wasn’t much reminder of what he privately called the Second Calamity. Some days however, the pain was a constant. Despite not having his arm, or Rarus one either, there was still a deep, blinding pain where his arm should be.

Summary
Link froze, instinct prickling at the back of his neck and making his damp hair stand on end. At first, he couldn't determine what had caught his attention, listening intently for the sounds of scuffling feet, the hiss of wings, or a malicious cry in the absence of his sight. But there was nothing but the burbling of dark water and the persistent thrum heavy on the air.
Link blinked and realized abruptly what he had been missing when two faint glowing pinpricks, nearly hidden beneath the flickering reflection of the master sword against the water, blinked back.
“Sidon?” Link stuttered in disbelief as it surfaced, almost unintelligible in his shock. Had the prince somehow fallen down here with him? Had he been a part of a search party?
But before Link could relax, a massive clawed hand latched upon the shore, close enough for him to realize that its skin was far from the familiar red and it was rising, rising, rising above him, stealing his breath with a fresh wash of alarm. That. Was not Sidon.

Summary
Inspired by The Knights Self-Destruction written by CumulonimBun (StarseedV)br />
^^Seriously go read it^^Link had just saved Hyrule from Ganondorf, he was told to rest. He didn't know how or what that really was. He half expected to die going against the man corrupted by his lust for power. Something in him knew it wouldn't take long before things would descend again. He could never relax. Zelda was the only one that could ease him by helping him keep busy. He wasn't her personal knight anymore. Not bound by order anymore but bound by his own refusal to live a life outside of service.
Even if he couldn't get a certain red Zora out of his head. Sent him letters of his daily duties and Sidon would send his own letters back (all of which are full of the Zora prince's enthusiasm). But outside of that, Link never addresses what he wants. He's not allowed to want, he's never allowed himself to want, to need, to demand, to be human.
He's always poised to be ready for the next battle.
The next puzzle.
The next time he needs to lay his life down.
It comes as he expects, takes everything from him once more.
But this time....he doesn't expect the crushing weight of.....all of it. -

Summary
Warriors and Legend get their punishment for being reckless.
-
As Warriors unrolled the paper, his and Legend’s brows furrowed as the paper continued to grow longer and longer. Eventually, Warriors just let the rest roll out on its own.
Ignoring the length, the two read the words at the top of the paper.
“Things you need to do… list made by Wild, Time, Malon, and Hyrule,” Legend mumbled as he read aloud. It didn’t even need to take long before it dawned on the two what this long scroll was.
“Are you telling me this is the list of chores we have to do?!” Legend yelled as he ripped the paper out of the captain’s hands and started inspecting it.

Summary
This is a story that begins in the kingdom of Hyrule. There is no Demise this time, and there are no threats to the kingdom. Hyrule can rest peacefully, and no fights have been recorded since the last Great War. The soul of the hero and the blood of the goddess can finally rest. But every so often, the Goddess allows them a lifetime of peace. Where instead of being the princess and the hero, they can just be Zelda and Link.
